While the world was busy obsessing over the
Virushka wedding in Tuscany, Nafisa Ali's daughter Pia Zaranna Sodhi also had a close-knit wedding in New Delhi last month. Designer Sabyasachi was the common connect between the two
shaadis, who recently shared gorgeous photos from Pia's big day. The New Year witnessed Pia Sodhi's photos send the Internet into some sort of a meltdown and netizens unanimously hailed the bride for her "unconventional" choice of bridal outfit. "A Sabyasachi bride wears an unusual bird's egg blue lehenga designed in an Indo-Victorian pattern in fine Aari taari and zardosi from the Devi Collection," the designer shared the details of Pia Sodhi's wedding
lehenga on Instagram. Pia Sodhi married her childhood best-friend Kshitij Khemka on December 11.
The comments section of Pia Sodhi's wedding photos is flooded with compliments like: "So refreshing to see a bride so simple yet gorgeous" and "Wowie! So, so stunning."
Sabyasachi, who was the designated designer for Pia's wedding wardrobe, shared his experience of the wedding in the Nafisa Ali household. Sharing a beautiful photo of the bride and her family, he wrote: "Very rarely do I come across such harmony. When a part of the country has decided to go mindless and over-the-top when it comes to their quest for glamour and beauty, weddings such as these remind you that refinement is not dead! Elegance, a certain sense of self, and happiness go a long way in making you the best version of yourself! And when you are armoured with that, you don't need much else!"
Sabyasachi, who is originally from Kolkata, left a note of admiration for the veteran actress as well.
Nafisa Ali's daughter had a two part wedding - the first one was according to Hindu rituals while the second one was a gurudwara wedding.
On the same day as Pia Sodhi's wedding, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli had a dream-like destination wedding in Italy's Tuscany. Anushka stole the limelight in all her wedding functions in stunning Sabyasachi creations. Starting from her Italian wedding to
the Mumbai reception, with which she rounded off her wedding festivities, Anushka was the perfect Sabyasachi bride in all.
For her
shaadi, Anushka wore a "pale pink lehenga with Renaissance embroidery in vintage English colours embellished with silver-gold metal thread, pearls and beads."
Anushka also opted for a hot pink ensemble for her
mehendi day and for her engagement, she hand-picked a velvet saree from the shelves of Sabyasachi. The reception in New Delhi saw her step out as the new bride in a bright scarlet and gold
saree while for the Mumbai reception, her
lehenga was embroidered with "hand beaten silver thread, textured sequins and cut organza flowers."
